The Impact

Background. Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is one of the major causes of kidney failure, and it may interact with renin angiotensin system while angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 receptor (AT2R) expression is gender dependent. We examined the role of AT2R blockade on vascular response to Ang II after I/R in rats.Methods.Male and female rats were subjected to 30 min renal ischemia followed by reperfusion. Two groups of rats received either vehicle or AT2R antagonist, PD123319. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), and renal blood flow (RBF) responses were assessed during graded Ang II (100, 300, and 1000 ng/kg/min, i.v.) infusion at controlled renal perfusion pressure (RPP).Results.Vehicle or antagonist did not alter MAP, RPP, and RBF levels significantly; however, 30 min after reperfusion, RBF decreased insignificantly in female treated with PD123319 (P=0.07). Ang II reduced RBF and increased renal vascular resistance (RVR) in a dose-related fashion (Pdose<0.0001), and PD123319 intensified the reduction of RBF response in female (Pgroup<0.005), but not in male rats.Conclusion.The impact of the AT2R on vascular responses to Ang II in renal I/R injury appears to be sexually dimorphic. PD123319 infusion promotes these hemodynamic responses in female more than in male rats.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI), an abrupt loss of renal function, is often seen in clinical settings and its mortality remains high even in the developed countries. An adhesive protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a pivotal role in platelet thrombus formation and is recently understood as a key protein in a cross-talk between inflammation and thrombosis. Recent mouse model studies demonstrated that VWF-mediated thrombotic and inflammatory responses could play a role in the disease progression of myocardial infarction or brain stroke. Thus, we assumed that VWF may also be involved in the pathophysiology of AKI, the major cause of which could be an insufficient renal circulation and/or inflammatory cell infiltration in the kidney. To test this hypothesis, we studied the relevant role of VWF in AKI in mouse model of acute ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) kidney injury. All mice used were male, 8-12 weeks of age, healthy and whose right kidney was surgically removed by the standard mouse nephrectomy procedure 1 week prior to the kidney I/R experiment. The preliminary experiments confirmed that surgical removal of mouse right kidney did not affect their general conditions including renal functions. Mice were anesthetized with inhaled isoflurane and then placed in an abdominal position on a heating pad. Surgical incision was given on the left side of back and the left kidney was brought out and kept outside during the operation. Both renal artery and vein were clamped at the renal hilus by a clamping clip for 30 min ischemia. Then a clip was taken off to provoke the reperfusion of renal blood flow, which was monitored by Laser Doppler flowmetry (ALF21, Advance Co, Tokyo, Japan). The kidney was then put back in a body and skin incision was closed. The renal blood flow was measured again 30 h after reperfusion and mice were then sacrificed for blood collection. We compared 15 wild-type (WT) and 16 VWF-gene deleted (knock-out; KO) mice (from The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME). Excess blood loss was not observed in all mice (WT or KO) during whole surgical process. Although no difference was seen immediately after reperfusion, significantly (p < 0.05) higher renal blood flow at 30 h after reperfusion was confirmed in VWF-KO mice, as compared to WT (KO; 24.0±2.3 vs. WT; 15.1±1.46 ml/min/100g of kidney weight, and the reperfusion/base flow ratio: KO; 1.0±0.07 vs. WT; 0.6 ±0.07). Consistent with the renal blood flow data, the serum creatinine value at 30 h after reperfusion were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in VWF-KO mice than WT (KO; 2.77±0.11 vs. WT; 3.15±0.11 mg/dl). Our results suggest that VWF does play a role in the pathogenesis of AKI, in which VWF-dependent thrombotic or inflammatory responses may trigger thrombotic ischemia or endothelial damages of vascular bed in the kidney. Thus, proper functional regulation of VWF would be beneficial for better microcirculation and vessel functions in the kidney, suggesting a novel therapeutic potential against AKI.

Background Obesity is a major risk factor for end-stage renal disease. Using transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 knockout (TRPV1−/−) mice, we tested the hypothesis that TRPV1 protects against obesity-induced exacerbation of renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods TRPV1−/− and wild-type (WT) mice were fed a chow or Western diet (WD) for 22–23 weeks. After that, mice were subjected to renal I/R injury, and renal cortical blood flow (CBF) and medullary blood flow (MBF) were measured. Results The Western diet significantly increased body weight and fasting blood glucose levels in both TRPV1−/− and WT mice. WD-induced impairment of glucose tolerance was worsened in TRPV1−/− mice compared with WT mice. WD intake prolonged the time required to reach peak reperfusion in the cortex and medulla (both P < 0.05), decreased the recovery rate of CBF (P < 0.05) and MBF (P < 0.05), and increased blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, and urinary 8-isoprostane levels after I/R in both mouse strains, with greater effects in TRPV1−/− mice (all P < 0.05). Renal I/R increased calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release in WT but not in TRPV1−/− mice, and WD attenuated CGRP release in WT mice. Moreover, blockade of CGRP receptors impaired renal regional blood flow and renal function in renal I/R injured WT mice. Conclusion These results indicate that TRPV1 plays a protective role in WD-induced exacerbation of renal I/R injury probably through enhancing CGRP release and increasing renal blood flow.

Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

BackgroundDamage to the renal microvasculature is a hallmark of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)–mediated AKI. The miR-17∼92 miRNA cluster (encoding miR-17, -18a, -19a, -20a, -19b-1, and -92a-1) regulates angiogenesis in multiple settings, but no definitive role in renal endothelium during AKI pathogenesis has been established.MethodsAntibodies bound to magnetic beads were utilized to selectively enrich for renal endothelial cells from mice. Endothelial-specific miR-17∼92 knockout (miR-17∼92endo−/−) mice were generated and given renal IRI. Mice were monitored for the development of AKI using serum chemistries and histology and for renal blood flow using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laser Doppler imaging. Mice were treated with miRNA mimics during renal IRI, and therapeutic efficacies were evaluated.ResultsmiR-17, -18a, -20a, -19b, and pri–miR-17∼92 are dynamically regulated in renal endothelial cells after renal IRI. miR-17∼92endo−/− exacerbates renal IRI in male and female mice. Specifically, miR-17∼92endo−/− promotes renal tubular injury, reduces renal blood flow, promotes microvascular rarefaction, increases renal oxidative stress, and promotes macrophage infiltration to injured kidneys. The potent antiangiogenic factor thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is highly expressed in renal endothelium in miR-17∼92endo−/− after renal IRI and is a target of miR-18a and miR-19a/b. miR-17∼92 is critical in the angiogenic response after renal IRI, which treatment with miR-18a and miR-19b mimics can mitigate.ConclusionsThese data suggest that endothelial-derived miR-17∼92 stimulates a reparative response in damaged renal vasculature during renal IRI by regulating angiogenic pathways.
